How Much Does it Cost to Rent a Campervan in Wollongong?

Campervan hire prices can vary quite a bit depending on the season and the style of van you choose. If you’re looking to keep costs down, the cooler months of May to September are your best bet, as it’s a quieter time to travel, which means fewer crowds and more competitive pricing. Conversely, travelling during the warmer months of November to mid-March means you’ll be in peak Australian road trip season, so demand is higher and prices tend to follow suit.

When it comes to vans, our more budget-friendly options include the Station Wagon, Budgie Van, and Budget Camper. If you’re after something newer or with a few more comforts, check out our Chubby Camper, Kuga, or Hi5 models. They come with a slightly higher price tag but are worth it for the added space and features.

If you want to exactly what your trip will cost, just pop your dates into our quick quote pricing tool.
